Africa
Journey to Redemption: Echoes of Africa's Mystique
Lyrics
I hear the drums echoing tonight
I perceive the distant sound of drums this evening.
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
However, she can only catch fragments of a hushed conversation.
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
She is arriving on the 12:30 flight.
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
The moonlit airplane wings mirror the stars, guiding me towards salvation.
I stopped an old man along the way
I approached an elderly man during my journey.
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
Hoping to discover forgotten words or ancient melodies.
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
He advised me urgently, "Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you."
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
It will require significant effort to separate me from you.
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
No challenge, even from a hundred men or more, could overcome our connection.
I bless the rains down in Africa
I express gratitude for the rains in Africa.
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
We need time to accomplish things we haven't done before.
The wild dogs cry out in the night
The wild dogs vocalize during the night.
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
They become restless, yearning for companionship.
I know that I must do what's right
I understand that I must choose the right path.
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
As certain as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
I aim to heal what's deep inside, fearing the person I've become.
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
It will require significant effort to pull me away from you.
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
No challenge, even from a hundred men or more, could overcome our connection.
I bless the rains down in Africa
I express gratitude for the rains in Africa.
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
We need time to accomplish things we haven't done before.
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Heed the advice, boy; she's waiting for you.
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
It will require significant effort to separate me from you.
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
No challenge, even from a hundred men or more, could overcome our connection.
I bless the rains down in Africa
I express gratitude for the rains in Africa.
I bless the rains down in Africa
-(I bless the rain)
(I express gratitude for the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
-(I bless the rain)
-I bless the rains down in Africa
-I bless the rains down in Africa
-(Ah, gonna take the time)
(Ah, we need the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
We need time to accomplish things we haven't done before.
